I haven’t actually seen the movie, but I’ve watched one or two reviews about it. I’ve heard that it’s message is bad for kids. They said it was degrading to parental authority and puts a pride in children that they shouldn’t have.
Also, the one scene I saw on YouTube with the the red-panda girl twerking in front of her mom looked stupid. Not just the animation, but also just the idea of it.

In this particular case, it was one of those super overbearing moms, who wants their kid to be perfect, and controls every aspect of their lives. The message was more saying for kids & their parents to try being supportive of eachother. The mum learns to support Mei’s interests, and Mei learns to both be herself, while also still letting her mum be in her life (as for much of the movie she seemed to feel those things were mutually exclusive).

I think there can be some bad messaging if the protagonist is continually and overtly disrespectful to the parent, such as in the twerking scene, but I hope that is the only instance. I mean, I still probably won’t watch the movie, but I hope that it’s closer to your description of it than other things I’ve heard.

She’s not. I’m not even sure what scene you’re talking about, tbh. There’s a few scenes when they get angry at eachother, and for a lot of the movie Mei is going behind her mum’s back to save up for a concert, but by the end of the movie you—or at least I—get the feeling that Mei wasn’t right in doing this, just that her mum wasn’t right either. In the end they both grow, and forge a better relationship, etc.

Bearbeitet von TigersFan228: 3/24/2022 5:42:05 PMThis is the scene I'm talking about. I watched a little video on the movie. Here's what it said. It played the opening dialogue of the movie where it says, "when honoring your parents, you can forget to honor yourself." So, although it's not overtly telling kids to ignore your parents, it promotes a selfish and prideful message. Especially when, a lot of times, parents know better than the kids. That quote also basically sums up the movie, at least from what the video says. When the girl chooses to keep her spirit, she's basically completely rejects the authority of her mother. That doesn't teach a good message at all. While, of course, parents can always be wrong, but they know what's best much better than the kid. This is more reinforced by the panda spirit always being removed from the girl. It's always been the best thing for generations, except for when a prideful child decides that its not. Thats not a good message to teach kids.

I think that video missed the point. That quote, and the message it sends, is not a bad thing unless you take it to uts absolute extreme. The extreme would be “Forget my parents, I’m the only thing that matters”, but that’s not the message it’s trying to say. Children are people, too. They deserve to have their own lives, friends, and interests. The purpose of a child’s life is not simply to live up to their parents’ every expectation—they deserve to be their own person, too. At the beginning of the movie, Mei’s entire life is dedicated to simply trying to make her parents proud. She rarely hangs out with her friends because her mother disapproves of Miriam, she doesn’t listen to her own music because her mother disapproves of 4-Town. She feels so trapped by her mother’s expectations that she starts going behind her back, and lying to her just so she can have room to breathe, and do the things she enjoyed. I.e. She spent so much time honoring her parents, that she didn’t honor herself. But at the end of the movie, she’s not some delinquent, disobeying her mother’s every wish. She still helps around the temple, and spends time with her mum, she just also makes a little bit of time for herself, too. One thing to note, is this movie doesn’t just try to give this message to kids, there’s a message for the parents, too; don’t try to control every aspect of your kid’s life. It’ll build an unhealthy relationship. I’m running short on time, so I can’t really get into the symbolism behind the panda, but she didn’t keep it on bad terms with her mum. Her mum accepted her choice. It was another representation if how tightly Mrs. Ling was holding on, albeit this one was a bit deeper.
